Lane closures planned on A1A in Summer Haven

State Road A1A in Summer Haven, just north of Marineland, will be reduced to one lane with flaggers directing traffic for approximately one week, beginning today. The lane closures are necessary as crews work very close to the travel lanes while installing a temporary wall on the south side of the south bridge.

Both bridges in Summer Haven, located south of the Claude Varn Bridge over the Matanzas Inlet and north of Marineland, are being replaced. Work is under way on the south bridge only. Later this month, the north bridge will be reduced to one lane with flaggers directing traffic while crews remove the existing pavement markings and replace them with new pavement markings and temporary barrier wall in preparation for a traffic shift. The lanes will be narrowed to 10 feet each and all traffic will be shifted to the east side of the north bridge so crews can begin working on the west side. The speed limit has been reduced to 40 mph.

The majority of time during construction, both bridges will remain open to two lanes, but occasionally they will have to be reduced to one lane.
